UNFCCC Expert Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluating Capacity-Building in Developing CountriesRio de Janeiro, Brazil, 6-7 November, 2008
Outline• Defining Capacity, and Capacity Development
• Methodologies and Tools for Monitoring and Evaluating Capacity Development
• Comparison? M&E at national level?
• Uniqueness of Capacity Development in Climate Change area

Defining Capacity, and Capacity Development
Capacity: Developing countries’ ability to cope with
challenges by their own organization and actions.
Capacity development: Process in which such capacity is being
strengthened and sustained at individual, institutional, and society levels as a whole.

Capacity at different levels(Capacity Development must be comprehensive)

Different Approaches to Capacity Development(Capacity Development should be country-driven and sustainable)
Existing Capacity Existing Capacity
External Input(Incl. Knowledge
Sharing)

Level of Capacity necessary to cope with challenges
Approach A: Transfer of capacity from external player(Filling a Gap with external capital transfer)
Approach B: Developing capacity with external facilitation(building capacity under the ownership of host countries/communities)

Methodologies and Tools for Monitoring and Evaluating Capacity-Building
• Evaluation is heavily dependent on “Target Setting”(based on capacity assessmentcapacity assessment)
Target in different levels: Overall Goal, Objectives of Efforts (eg. Policy/Programme/Project objectives)
• Indicators are useful only if/when they are elaborated with means of verification, important assumption and pre-condition (used in PDM)
• M&E are properly done by Project Owners (and contracted external evaluators)

Comparison is only useful for drawing lessons from “Good Practices”(Simple replication does not happen)

(Internal Factors)• Willingness of Stakeholders•Entry point of Efforts etc.
Easier to compare the two, since the external factors are the same or similar.But still internal factors of projects should be taken into account.
Can we compare? M&E at National LevelAccuracy of Comparison (EvaluationAccuracy of Comparison (Evaluation))• Project level>Programme level>Policy level> Regional/International Network
(At higher level, quantified indicators may omit useful qualified information)
Methods of M&E Methods of M&E • We use the same M&E methods(some variety), but indicators are
more tailor-madePre-condition of Defining IndicatorsPre-condition of Defining Indicators• Capacity Assessment (jointly done by D-ing+D-ed countries) is
crucial• Assessment(BAU) Monitoring(Indicators) Evaluation
(Indicators) must be coherent, and reflect a specific context.

Uniqueness of Capacity Development in Climate Change area

• This Area is already decided by 2/CP7.• Fill in one of the 15 scopese.g. (promotion of) CDM
-
Entry points of such efforts are different by host countries. Host countries chose such entry point, jointly with our Agencies.
Conclusion from our practice
• A single methodology (with variation) for M&E is used.• Indicators are used and functions in specific context (within
PDM), and simple aggregation of evaluation results is strictly avoided.
• Indicators are useful to interpret lessons from Good Practices.• Evaluation at larger level employs more qualitative/narrative
way.• Entry points of efforts are different by countries, and it affects
selection of indicators.• For climate change, we approach both from “Overall Goal” and
from the bottom side of PDM( and it still works).
